When Might Lead Paint Testing Be Needed?
Consider the following reasons for lead paint testing. By asking yourself when lead paint testing might be needed, address these concerns:
- Has a child been diagnosed with lead poisoning?
- Is your property owner concerned about the possibility of lead poisoning?
- Are property owners being required to run such tests for lead poisoning?
- Under federal law, are you being required to inspect it, as a potential homebuyer?
- You must hire an inspector to check on the lead paint content for homes that were constructed before 1978.
These are the primary reasons for lead paint testing. Of course, in this situation, you might be prompted to start asking some other related questions. One such question is if you can run your own lead paint testing. Read below to learn more about this possibility.
Can I Run My Own Lead Paint Testing?
You can, in fact, run your own lead paint testing. But it is still probably best to leave it to the professionals. While laboratories can inspect some self-collected samples, these tests and store-bought testing kits may not always be the most reliable. An accredited professional company with experience in running these tests will be able to better serve you.
